The Legend of the Eight Heroes

Conversation

Sion: Guy. I took care of those Pygmy warriors as you said.

Guy: Wow, that's amazing. I expected it, but you are indeed fast. Haha!

Sion: Then the information I mentioned before?

Guy: What? Oh you mean the five heroes?

Guy: It's a common story but I'll tell you anyways.

Guy: 25 years ago, Satan Endless was summoned at a forest at the west.

Guy: Only recently did I find out that the warlocks were the ones that did it.

Guy: Anyways, the resurrected Satan Endless covered the world with darkness and death.

Guy: Then one day, the temple received an oracle and eight heroes left on a journey to slay the evil Satan.

Guy: The eight heroes finally faced him and defeated him, but three of the heroes never returned.

Guy: The three heroes that died during the battle with Satan are Zero, Alice, and Schtemberg.

Guy: The five heroes have become the five swords that guard the empire, and protect Chroisen Empire even till this day.

Guy: Oh! Now it's four. Since Klimp was murdered recently.

Sion: Then can I know where they are now?

Guy: The guild leader would know more about that than me.

Guy: Wait a moment.

Guy: Lantas!!

Lantas: What? Is something wrong?

Guy: No, it's not that. Tell us the story of the five heroes.

Guy: A new mercenary wants to know about the five heroes.

Lantas: Are you the new mercenary?

Sion: Yes. Thank you, guild leader.

Lantas: You're the one who defeated the bandits at Cocoon and the bandit leader without getting paid at all?

Sion: That just happened... Haha!

Lantas: Hahaha! I like you, boy!

Lantas: You're a show off just like Zero... Hahaha!

Sion: You knew Zero?

Lantas: Did I know Zero?

Lantas: I was at the same mercenary group with Zero.

Sion: What??

Lantas: Yes hahaha! / He really was something!

Lantas: He was younger than me, but not even experienced mercenaries or knights could defeat him.

Sion: You must have like him.

Lantas: He was a fine fellow.

Lantas: He was very square. / He was straightforward, firm with what he thought was right, and unable to withstand injustice.

Guy: I heard that when Lantas almost died, Zero helped him.

Lantas: Well we were getting closer after that, but he left to slay Satan with all the heroes of the oracle.

Lantas: And he didn't return...

Sion: I'm sorry...

Lantas: Why are you sorry?

Lantas: You are quite strange... / Hahahaha!!

Sion: Then do you know how the other heroes lived afterwards, and where they are now?

Lantas: Hmmm... I'm not interested in others, but I do know where Duke Batista is of course.

Lantas: Bartran Manor is Duke Batista's land so I get to see him sometimes.

Sion: Then will Duke Batista be at the castle right now?

Lantas: That I do not now.

Lantas: He comes and goes as he please. So of course I do not know.

Sion: Oh... Then how about the other heroes?

Lantas: The other heroes...

Guy: Lantas. I think it's been way longer than an hour since Charles told you to come.

Lantas: What? Oh no! I have to leave so ask others about the rest.

Sion: (Lantas... I feel like I've known him for a long time...)

Guy: Sion!!??

Sion: Ye... Yes!!

Guy: I think it'd be best to go to Pan for a story like that.

Sion: Pan?

Guy: Yes, he's famous for having a lot of information.

Guy: Well, to be honest, most of it is useless, but he'll know a famous story like that really well.

Sion: Oh... I see.

Sion: Then I'll go to hear the rest of the story.

Guy: We have so many requests and not enough mercenaries, so please visit.

Sion: Okay, I will. Then I'll be off...
